A New Year

December 30, 2013

At the end of every year, many people find themselves reflecting on the good, bad and the happy things that have happened over the past 12 months. Often times, individuals will see areas that can be improved upon and set resolutions for themselves to try and be better in the new year. New Year’s resolutions can relate to one’s personal health, one’s personal life or their professional life. Resolutions can motivate us to make changes and better our lives in some way. However, sometimes we get so caught up in tangible and visible successes, we forget to just be. We forget to take time, to make moments and to appreciate what we have and where we are. We forget to be grateful for each and every day.

This year, Art of Tea challenges you to make “mindful resolutions.” To realize that a new year is a great time to set new goals in motion, but that every day is a gift and a chance to do something positive. Take time to slow down, appreciate the little things and have a cup of tea.
